Rock Island daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1886-1893, 1887-11-03

The South Rock Island Literary socie-
ty held it's regular weekly meeting at the
school house Tuesday night, the presi>
dent, Miss Case, presiding. The exer-
cises opened with music, after which Mr..
Grin Leonard made short address to the
young people upon the pleasure and
profit to be derived from such al organi-
cation. Then the society tackled the
woman suffrage question and wrsstled
long and hotly upon the desirability of
extending the voting franchise to the fair
sex. Mr.. VIM. and Miss Emma Lamont
gave some good reasons why this should
be the case, but their antagonists, Mr..
Benedict and Miss Case, gave such CO.
gent reasons in favor of the negative that
the question was unanimously decided in
the negative. Mr.. Henry Bostock gave
a recitation, after which the meeting adj
iourned to meet next week. The society
has over sixty members and the meetings
are interesting and largely attended.

One of the quietfst and most effective ways
We have of disposing Of obnoxious customers
is simply giving orders that they shall not be
waited upon A policeman came here one
night and after orderinga good meal disputed
the price and made q great fuss. Tie man in
charge threw his money back to him and told
him never to come in here again. Then be
told the walters that any one who would wait
On that man might consider himself dis
charged, The policeman did come in few
nights afte. and every wa ter had something
to do that engrossed oil his attention. The
officer asked for a cup of coffee, and
every one seemed to be afflicted with deaf
ness When he did succeed in commanding
the attention Of one waiter he was told there
was no coffee, no tea, nothing for him. He
finally realized the situation, took his hat and
walked out, ard he has never been here since.
We have tried the same plan successfully
with young blOods who have thought it a
good joke to empty bottle of catsup into
the sugar bowl-Restauran Clerk in Globe

The Bridges Are Omen.

The repairs of the government bridges
leading to the island were completed last
night, and all the bridges were thrown
open to the public again this morning,
Of the great importance of this means of
communication, one can Judge slightly by
the continued and universal growing
that it was OF completed sooner, but one
more fully appreciates how much it is
used by glance at the figures. Take it
during the month of September, during
which month the repairs were COM
menced During that month in the year
1886. there passed north over the bridge
AZ, $50 foot passengers and %, $50 teams;
going south there were 5000 foot pas,
sengers and 1920 teams, or q total OF
sl,720 foot passengers and so $50 teams.
During October of the same year there
were 26,645 foot passengers and 16, 926
teams going north and 1850 foot pas
sengers and 170S1 teams going south.
The Davenport Democrat. Gazette est
mates that 100000 foot passengers and
$4,000 teams have been deprived of the
use of the bridges in the interval occupied
in the repairs.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 2-1'he strike on
the sugar plantations, which became general
throughout the sugar belt Tuesday, assumed
a serious aspect Wednesday. laeassaigne,
sugar planter of Terrebonne parish, sent
forty five white labOrers TO take the places
of that number of negroes who had struck on
his plantation in Lafourche parish. The
strikers hid themselves in the cane fields,
and when the new men came to work fired
on them from ambush, seriously wounding
four The balance fed 1t is not known whether
any of them are fatally hurt, it being impos-
sible to get particulars of the affair. A
company of militia stationed at Thibodeaux
has been sent to the scene of trouble. The
strike extended Wednesday and now includes
almost every plantation in southwest Louis
lana.
A number of leaders in the strike in st
Mary parish were arrested Wednesday. Seri-
